A few useful details.
What software do I need?
The main file is .xlsx and uses basic spreadsheet formulas. You need an app that opens and recalculates Excel workbooks. Calculations and input changes were checked in a bundled LibreOffice runtime. Excel and Google Sheets have not been tested. The printable sheets and free calculator open in a browser.
Does it track every product or file my taxes?
No. Enter total sales, goods costs and expenses for each event. It does not connect to payment accounts, calculate tax returns or manage inventory automatically. Use your payment provider for actual processing fees and sales reports.
Can I use euros or pounds?
This edition is labeled USD throughout. It does not convert currencies. A separate currency edition may follow if there is demand.
Why is this a download rather than a subscription?
You keep your own file and event history. There is no account to maintain, and the workbook does not send your sales or costs to us.
